Thread the yarn tail to a tapestry needle, weave the yarn tail through the front loops of the remaining 7 stitches. Pull tight to close the hole. Don’t fasten off.
Now insert the yarn from the bottom centre of the pumpkin and pull to the top centre of the pumpkin. Wrap the yarn around outside and reinsert back through the centre of the pumpkin to the top. This creates a crease. Repeat the process 4 more times keeping equal distance between each creases.
Don’t cut the remaining yarn tail as we need it to sew the pumpkin to the ghost.
